Iron Crowne: Enemies to Lovers Standalone (The Crowne Brothers) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,220 ratings

Byron Crowne is a gentleman on the outside, and a pure savage on the inside.
He's a developer trying to build on protected land, and I'm an environmental lawyer who's going to stop him.
The minute I see him across the negotiating table, I detest him...and I can't resist him.
When he touches me, I need to fight him . . . and I need him to win.
Our one night stand bruises my skin and leaves dents in the walls, but the sheets aren't the only thing we shred that night. And suddenly, the stakes are higher than ever.
Olivia Monroe lights a fire in me that died a long time ago.
I’m a different man when I’m with her.
I need to own her, take her, mark her as mine.
Everything changes when she might be pregnant and for the first time in my life…I’m powerless against this stubborn, untamable woman. She’s the one in control and I have an impossible job: Prove I’m worthy to be a father.
---
STANDALONE. This book covers how-do-you-do to HEA and all the hate-forking in between.

She resides in Hollywood in a house that’s just big enough for her two children, two cats, her long-suffering husband and her massive ego.

“We shouldn’t,” I said, but what I meant was, Give me a reason to say yes.
' He kissed my neck, gently running his teeth along sensitive skin. I groaned with pleasure, clutching the shoulders of his jacket. “Let me climb it. Let me conquer you.” “We shouldn’t,” I said, but what I meant was, Give me a reason to say yes.'With every encounter, through every chapter, you want to say yes!Byron is as arrogant, demanding and full of filthy words to turn you into a whimpering puddle. Which is what he does to Olivia every...darn...time!The yare opponents in a very expensive and highly publicized endeavor. He wants to build it and she is determined to stop him. But with the attraction bigger than a mega magnet, things get muddled and out of control.The battle is worthy. The couple is ablaze that could burn them both down! I was so involved, invested and engrossed by this book! I am highly anticipating the next one.

    When CD Reiss is on, she's on. She always amazes me when she can take characters that don't seem to fit and make a world with them that flows seamlessly together so perfectly, flaws and all. Even when she takes two seemingly opposite characters and turns their lives upside down, it's perfection.

    Olivia and Byron are the epitome of enemies. They do not fit in any way, shape or form. Their beliefs are so far removed from each other that they are oil and vinegar. Olivia is fighting for herself, the land and the environment and she is tough as nails. She will pave her own way by doing what she wants, how she wants. She does not like to lose. Especially to a man that is all about working the system, having bigger and better and Winning at each corner.

    "I see you. You are worthy. I will destroy you."

    This book is enemies to lovers, but it's so much more. CD takes LA, it's money, it's families, it's environmental causes and makes some hot and steamy, lyrical prose out of it. The intensity of the writing and the chemistry between Olivia and Byron is off the charts. You can taste the feelings between the two of them and their fight to stand behind their values. We are kept on a constant edge that may be uncomfortable, but it keeps you pulled in to the story and won't let you go.

    "I'd never felt so fully owned, so defiled and worshipped. So abused and cared for. So much freedom.."

    Iron Crowne is deliciously addictive and the characters are perfectly flawed. Ms Reiss has an understanding of dominant and submissive characters that are so strong and full of life yet are missing something major. I just want to read every book that delivers words like I am starving for it. The Crowne family has captivated me and I can't wait for more men that are strong but know how to bend to a woman that bends to them.

    "Bury me in you. Let me see your dirty ..... soul."

    Trust me when I say, you're not going to want to miss Iron Crowne. The writing is stunning and the rich and extravagant world of the Crowne's has seduced me. And I simply cannot wait for more from this world.
  • Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023
    This was my 1st read by CD Reiss and I was not disappointed. She'd been popping up in my feed for awhile now and I knew I'd eventually HAVE to pick up one of these books! Looks like Iron Crowne was THE one to catch my eye and make it my next read and 1st one by Reiss.
    I loved the preface of a strong powerful woman who put her career 1st and decided to wait to have a baby until she was established and in a good place. Now she is feeling a little anxious and fearful she may have missed her time as she is having trouble getting pregnant via the IUI therapy treatments. Her gay best friend is providing the sperm and wasn't looking to be a dad, just the bestest Uncle on the planet. Olivia wanted to do this on her own, as she had no partner, her and her boyfriend separated so she was happy to still be a parent. Her mother did it by herself with 2 daughters so why can't she? Olivia is a strong independent unapologetic woman who knows what she wants...just running into a couple of hiccups on the road to getting it. She doesn't want to give up and a night of unplanned passion threatened to derail all her hard work...
    Enter Byron Crowne 😏 boy oh boy is this a M-A-N!! Just yummy! He is extremely confident, dominant and honest...a rare combo. He knows exactly what he DOESN'T want and falling in love or ever getting married. He had been burned in the most traumatic kind of way and vowed to protect his heart at all costs going forward... didn't mean he couldn't enjoy the finer form of the woman of course! The first time he saw Olivia electricity exploded between them. Their chemistry was undeniable and he was ready to explore it, in anyway she would allow.
    Olivia did not want anything to do with the pompous billionaire but get him to stop building the monstrocity he was on preserved land. She is a conservation lawyer and not falling for Mr. Crownes antics to get her to turn the other way.
    They come together and its 🔥! They made me fan myself as the steam was off the hook hot at times! I love a smokin' book that unapologetically gets down and dirty. Yes, this was definitely one I'll remember.
    I originally purchased the audible version but quickly grabbed the kindle as well within the 1st chapter I was so hooked! 2 of my favorite narrators kicked this book into HIGH STEAM TERRITORY with little effort. They both know how to bring a book to life and with one so good already?? It’s pretty awesome to lose yourself with Sebastian York and Elena Wolfe reading.
    All in all an AMAZING showing for this author. Now I get to gleefully go through her giant backlog of books and get lost in her world. A stellar writer, she draws you into her story and doesn't let go. The only thing I didn't like was how quickly the major obstacle of the story was resolved. That part didn't sit well but the rest was super rad, go grab this book, you won't regret it!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not my thing
    Reviewed in Spain on June 7, 2023
    I'm really not into stories that perpetrate stereotypes. In this case, an intelligent, logical, brave and confident woman who transforms into a silly mess when confronted with a "dominant" alpha male. Why did she fall in love? Which qualities were attractive in him? That he dominated her during sex? Really!? And what did he see in her? Why did he fall in love? For me this was nothing more than sexual favours being exchanged. Sorry, definitely not for me!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reiss at her seductive best
    Reviewed in Canada on November 22, 2019
    Chemistry is what C.D. Reiss does best. Sure, her dialogue sings and her plots are genius and intriguing. Her supporting characters are well rounded and interesting. But the way she crafts chemistry between her characters so heady you feel seduced and under a spell, a trademark of her novels. As well, Reiss writes strong female characters that kick ass and still have vulnerabilities. Her heroes are confidant alphas with their own vulnerabilities. Iron Crowne is a master class in chemistry, a strong heroine and a seductive hero. Iron Crowne has a fantastic plot and it goes onto my “best of 2019 list.”

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 9, 2019
    A very exceptional storyline about two very obsessed individuals. One named Olivia who’s biological clock is definitely on count down for a child she so desires , wants and needs. Doesn’t need a partner, just the seed.She is a successful lawyer, has the funds to support said child, and is under going treatment to achieve such a goal. However she didn’t bargain for one, Byron Crowne. A very rich property developer, whom she encounters over environmental issues. He has a past. One that he cannot resolve, as a result his capability to form a relationship, let alone love is compromised. The story unfolds. It is sensitive, covers many issues, such has fertility treatments, and disappointments encountered. There are trust and commitment issues and also family dynamics that are both endearing and volatile. A great book as ever from a good author and well worth 5 stars.

    Reviewed in Canada on September 4, 2020
    CD Reiss has given another reason for why I can’t resist her books! Iron Crowne was the epitome of what an enemies-to-lovers romance should be. Right from the start, the characters exploded with such potent amounts of hate and uncontrollable lust, this story was so hot that the words felt like they were being seared into my brain. The warped and nasty relationship that Olivia and Byron shared did absolutely nothing to make me like them (especially Olivia), but I couldn’t look away.
